Ryuki Dono,

Libtiff does allow access to the images reported as
"Can not handle...".   However, the RGBA convenience
interface does not support these variations.   So it would
be fairer to say that the libtiff RGBA interface is rather
limited.

For instance, I can read the various configurations of imagery
you mention in my libtiff based GDAL software but my higher
level application code handles scaling and display of higher
bit order imagery in it's own way.

It would be nice to extend the RGBA interface to handle more
options, but it doesn't seem high on anyones priority list.

Best regards,
--
